I accidently took an over dose of my meds today.I have a pill box and each day is set out.
Well I had my medicine then a few hours later went past the box and thinking it was wednesday took them again.
Anyway I phoned NHS direct as I was a bit worried about three of the meds
Anyway after asking quantities I had taken and my weight the lady proceeds to not only tell me that I was safe but also procceded to tell me how much I needed to have in my system to be in danger.
I thought this a bit strange because two of the drugs in question were Fluoxetine(prozac) and amitriptiline.
Surely you dont tell a depressed person how muc medicine they need to kill themselves
